9 System architecture HP Integrity midrange servers are built around a mo dular architecture, with components that can be configured to effectively cover a wide range of computing needs. Both the Integrity rx7620-16 and 8620-32 Servers support a variety of system configur ations, ranging from two to eight 1.
Figure 6. Architecture of the HP Integrity rx7620-16 Server, showing the basic modular buildi ng blocks of the system 10.
HP Integrity rx8620-32 Server architecture The HP Integrity rx8620-32 Server architecture builds upon that of the Integrity rx7620-16 Server with the addition of a crossbar backplane and two more cell boards.
Figure 8. Primary components of the HP sx1000 Chipset Cell boards The cell, or cell board, is one of the basic bu ilding blocks of the HP Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers. A cell board is a module that pr imarily houses processors, memory, and the cell controller ASICs.
13 Cell design details Each cell board is a self-contained unit, with a sy mmetric multiprocessor (SMP), main memory, and all necessary hardware. • CPUs—up to four 1.
14 Within the cell, CPU-to-CC peak bandwidth is 12.8 GB/s, a greater than 50% improvement over previous-generation systems. The minimum supported cell configuration is two active processors and 2 GB of memory per cell board.
15 Cell hot-plug The HP Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers supp ort cell hot-plug. Coupled with the servers’ partitioning capability 1 , cell hot-plug allows for the servicing of cell boards within a single partition while the other partition continues normal operatio n.
I/O subsystem Each HP Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Server co ntains an embedded high-performance I/O subsystem. In addition, the Integrity rx8620-32 Se rver can optionally connect to external I/O resources located in the HP SEU through a high-per formance I/O cable link.
17 I/O controller chips The HP Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers contain two master I/O controller chips located on the PCI-X backplane. Each I/O controller contai ns 16 high-performance, 12-bit-wide links. These links connect to 16 slave I/O controller chips supporting the PCI-X card slots and core I/O.
Figure 12. The PCI-X backplane of the Integrity rx7620-16 Server has dual high-performance links for 14 of the 16 I/O card slots Figure 13 . The PCI-X backplane of the Integrity rx8620-32 Server has d.
Core I/O The HP Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers are purchased with either one or two core I/O card products. In both systems, core I/O provides console, Ultra160 SCSI, Gigabit LAN, serial, and Management Processor (MP) functionality, along wi th SCSI controllers for the peripheral bay.
Figure 15. Basic core I/O card set (secondary) The Management Processor —The Management Processor (MP) is a dedicated processor located on each MP/SCSI card that simplifies and extends sy stem management and enhances serviceability.
External LAN —The external LAN port is a 10/100/1000Base-T external LAN port that uses an RJ-45 connector. External SCSI —The external SCSI port is an Ultra160 LVD external SCSI port for connections to mass storage or media.
22 The core I/O Management Processor, external LAN po rt, and external SCSI port functionality in the HP Integrity rx8620-32 Server is the same as desc ribed above in the Integrity rx7620-16 Server core I/O section. However, there are slot count and bus routing differences in the peripheral bay implementation.

The HP SEU (left) and the SEU + HP Integrity rx 8620-32 Server mounted in HP 2-meter cabinet (right) The HP SEU mirrors the I/O resources embedded within the Integrity rx8620-32 Server chassis, both physically and electrically.
Figure 18. The HP SEU block diagram AC power subsystem The HP Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers were both designed to take full advantage of the multi-grid power inputs found in today’s high-end data centers.

28 Performance benchmarks The HP Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers of fer leadership performance in the online transaction processing (OLTP), business intelligence, and technical markets. More information will be available as benchmar ks become certified.
29 Also included with every Integrity rx7620-16 an d rx8620-32 Server is a cable management arm (CMA). The cable management arm is a two-member trough system that resides at the back of the chassis and guides cables during extension and re traction of the product.
30 How nPartitions work A hardware partition corresponds roughly to a single, standalone system. The Integrity rx7620-16 Server can be subdivided into two partitions, whil e the Integrity rx8620-32 Server (configured with an SEU) can be divided into four partitions.
31 CPU protection The central processing unit is often a major cause of system downtime. For instance, CPU cache errors are demonstrated to be a large contributor (in many cases, the greatest contributor) to unplanned system downtime.
32 Instant Capacity Instant Capacity is a means of adding and removing CPUs in a partition. With Instant Capacity, you don’t need to worry about the following: • Interleaved memory • Application.
33 Address/Control parity The address control path of the memory system is protected so that spurious bit flips in the address/control path do not cause the correct data to be written to the wrong location, which would result in data corruption. HP is the leader in de livering this functionality to the mission-critical marketplace.
34 Dual AC line cord support As described earlier in this paper, the Integr ity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers can run on one or two totally independent power sources.
35 All major system components, other than the power co nversion board, are slated to remain the same for future processors—you can even use the same memory DIMMs.
36 Temporary Instant Capacity is the ability to turn Inst ant Capacity CPUs that are already installed in the system on and off for short periods of time to provide added capacity. Temporary Instant Capacity gives customers the ability to adjust to un planned or planned spikes in computing.
